analysis and computer simulation to predict and
compensate for performance under all operating
conditions. This reduces cost and ensures an effective
and efficient conveying system.

Regenerative Downhill Conveyors

Regenerative downhill conveyors have been designed and
successfully supplied.

Conveyor Drives
Tenova TAKRAF’s conveyors run successfully, using drain
and scoop-type hydraulic, DC or electronic variable-speed
drives.

Design Capability
Tenova TAKRAF identifies potential conveying routes
either for long overland or plant conveying, optimising
routing and equipment utilisation and specifications. This
service is supported by
■ in-house conveyor design by mechanical, structural,
electrical and instrumentation engineers.
